Praying with Luther
When: Saturday, May 13, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Where: Sanctuary
Who: Led by Pastor Mike
Christ calls on us to pray, and instructs us to spend time in prayer every day. But how are we to do this? This workshop is the first in a series of workshops aimed at helping us grow in our practice of prayer. We will not only explore different approaches and methods of prayer; we will practice them.
Luther wrote a small manual of prayer entitled “A Simple Way to Pray,” which is considered a classic handbook on individual prayer. His approach has been very instrumental in shaping my own prayer life, especially regarding meditation on The Lord’s Prayer and Scripture.
The Workshop Schedule
- The practice of daily prayer: What did Jesus say about the practice of prayer? What is the witness of the Church through the ages? Why is daily prayer so important? We will explore the importance of this key aspect of our discipleship.
- A Simple Way to Pray: We will explore and practice what Luther suggested for meditating on The Lord’s Prayer and the Ten Commandments. We will also apply it to the meditation of Scripture.
- Follow-up: We will discuss how best to follow-up with encouragement and accountability regarding our practice of prayer.
